if I remove the check against the "localhost" name, things succeed as

Fwiw, I routinely test with a localhost cert, and this check has never
tripped for me. But my ldap_int_hostname is also "localhost" - apparently
something on your system insists that your hostname is "u16build".
One of the main tenants of the test suite is that it be portable. I think
mandating that anyone who wants to run the test suite must use a host with a
hostname set to "localhost" is untennable. Because of this bug, the test
suite will have to have a dependency on the "openssl" command line binary so
that it can generate certs based on the hostname of the system where it is
being run. Without this problematic code, we could simple check in
pre-generated certs, removing that dependency.
